Bumper Boy receiver & antenna. The receiver can be used to control third-party launchers like Wingers. Uses the motion button on the Master Transmitter.

Adding a Winger or bird release- On the receiver there is a jack that can produce 6 volts through a standard audio plug, commonly used on wingers or bird releases. This jack is activated by the launch button. In addition, the motion plug can also provide another 6-volt supply to control a second winger (activated by the motion button).

I have used them for my Malcom's. The way I have the transmitter programed. The side button is used to raise and lower the Malcom. I use the motion plug in on the receiver. A plug in was proided (bought), from bumper boy with a female speaker wire end. Which plugs into a 8' speaker wire and into the Malcom. When everything is working its a pretty good system.

I do not have the newer Hawx electronics but I have used BB receivers for my Zinger wingers for years. I have a formula somewhere hidden in this computer that tells me how to connect the servo wire to a male RCA plug. I use an extension wire so I do not permanently alter the main wire. From one receiver, I can remotely fire a shotgun with a popper, fire the launcher and retire my white flag. Cannot un-retire the flag but since I have to reload the winger anyway I just re-set the flag. Try doing that with one receiver at a station with any other equipment.

Ok I plugged my Zinger Winger II's in using a Mono Male/Female mini stereo cable from Radio Shack. It did not work, so I took the cover off the Winger servo cover and reversed the 2 plug in wire leads and now it works just fine! This now answers the question neither Zinger or BB knew the answer to as to the wiring compatibility.
